You can add a polygon using existing objects or new linework as a perimeter. To add a polygon to a polygon topology, the current drawing must be where the topology was created.
To add a polygon to a polygon topology using existing linework
- Open the drawing where the polygon topology was created and load the topology.
To add a polygon to a polygon topology, the current drawing must be the drawing where the topology was created.

- If you have blocks defined in the drawing, you are prompted to specify a block to use for the centroid. Press Enter to use ACAD_POINT, or type a block name and press Enter.
To add a polygon to a polygon topology by creating new linework
- Open the drawing where the polygon topology was created and load the topology.
- On the command line, type MAPIL.
- When prompted, specify the location for a new link. The link must define a polygon.
